Confirmed. LADSPA support would be awesome. it should be as simple as repackaging mplayer, with ladspa-sdk installed, but unfortunately I'm having problems satisfying the build- dep for mplayer on edgy.

Done Note, selecting libglu1-mesa-dev instead of libglu-dev Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libglu1-mesa-dev: Depends: libglu1-mesa (= 6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3) but 6.5.1-0ubuntu12 is to be installed Depends: libgl1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed or libgl-dev E: Broken packages -- LADSPA support is not compiled in mplayer by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/67400 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
